Help to Boycott Citgo

[Stillrunning]

Thanks for that info because I think Citgo is were I have been filling up so I guess I'll add them to my list. Another thing that I have been trying to do is to purchase "Made In America" products when I can. I have found that it can be tough but when I have the choice I'll spend a few extra $ to by them. We can't bash Corporations for exporting jobs if we are buying China etc.. products we are exporting jobs as well.

Agreed Still, but my job depends on overseas jobs.

Now you are going to say what everyone else says,
that's un- American, you take jobs away from us.

Then I go into my shpeal,
NO, all the work that I do is on products for local markets outside of the U.S.
1% of what I work on gets imported into the U.S.
I am considered a corporate product engineer and
my job is to make sure that our facilities overseas are
following the customer directives as far as product specs go and
following our corporate standard operating procedures.
Our facilities look forward to my visits, because they want to get a good
corporate report.

Was it on here or another forum?...Hugo's fixin' to take over (nationalize) EVERY petroleum producing facility in Ven. ... including those owned and being operated by Shell, BP and others...if I can find it, I'll put it here...it may have something to do w/ the current increases ... well, that and the fact that those who are profiting from world wide petroleum sales are greedy bass-turds ;) ...



...and for the record, I haven't bought Citgo in MANY years and instruct my children not to as well... ;) ...

I have no problem with imported products at all it part of our economy. I just always get a laugh when people start bashing American Co. for making products over seas but their home is full of "Made In China " products.

I just read an article this morning about quality in the motor vehicle industry,

FORD is in a dead heat for second place with Toyota and Nissan.
Number one is Honda.

All three (T, N & H) can no longer be termed as imports
as they import very few vehicles, most are made in the U.S.
